McDaniel's heavy 26-fight experience advantage wound up failing him in Episode 5 when he was routed via rear-naked choke in a surprising upset by 5-0 underdog Kelvin Gastelum.

Casey arguably put up a tougher fight in defeat against Colin Hart during Episode 4, but prior to that bout, McDaniel relentlessly hounded Casey for a match, seemingly desperate to face someone he viewed as a beatable opponent.

Now, both men will get a chance to settle their rivalry once and for all, along with possibly winning their way back into this season's tournament.
